Sia works with Eminem on new song after he used anti-gay slur

Sia has worked with Eminem on a new song even after she donated all of her earnings from their previous collaboration over his use of anti-gay slurs.

Guts Over Fear is the pair's second duet following Beautiful Pain, which appeared on the rapper's 2013 album The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

This song will feature on the soundtrack to Denzel Washington's upcoming movie The Equalizer.

Last year, people were furious over the song 'Rap God'. Eminem raps he will 'break a motherfucker's table over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half', and 'you fags think it's all a game till I walk a flock of glames off a plank'.

Sia, who is openly bisexual, defended Eminem, saying: 'I know personally that he is not homophobic, but a performance artist.

‘I would never work with someone I believed to be homophobic.’

'He has a character called Slim Shady who represents the worst and darkest bile of America. I see how it can be unclear. But I assure you he is not homophobic himself. He does certainly respect the gay community he is close to in his personal life.'

However after New York based DJ and writer Keo Nozari called Sia out over her appearance on the album, she announced she would donate the proceeds from her collaboration to the Los Angeles Gay And Lesbian Center.

‘I guess my only hope at this point is that Beautiful Pain will do more good than Rap God does harm,’ she tweeted, adding ‘I feel powerless. I thought Slim Shady had been put to bed. Now what’s done is done on my end.’

Eminem has said his use of the words is not directed at gay people and part of his Slim Shady persona, telling Rolling Stone: ‘The real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all.’
